Announcing the Ladybird Browser Initiative
  • I do too. What a joke the browser became after moving to Chromium... I remember it didn't even have bookmarks in the first version.

    On the flip side I kind of understand the decision to pull the plug - if you've looked at Browser.js and think that potentially any site might need a fix to work properly...

  • Surely "1337" is the same as 1337, right?
  • Oof.

    I guess this is one of the reasons that some linters now scream if you don't provide base when parsing numbers. But then again good luck finding it if it happens internally. Still, I feel like a ZIP should be treated as a string even if it looks like a number.

  • Eat shit Spotify.
  • When listening locally on my computer I use foobar2000 and the OpenLyrics component - but yeah, it falls short sometimes unfortunately. I've written myself some scrapers that crawl some sites, but that still requires a bit of manual intervention. I'm still looking for a self-hosted app that can help with tags though, and more in a manual manner; I don't really like a script assuming that this album is this specific release when it might not be.

    Besides, some files have the lyrics already in the tags - often the case when buying/downloading for free from Bandcamp.

  • What YouTubers did you used to watch back then but not anymore?
  • That Canadian tech guy. The channel has some good content, but that whole drama with the ex-employees, even without knowing the whole story, stinks of a toxic workplace, and I don't want to support that. Plenty of other good tech-related content that I still follow - Level One Techs, Gamers Nexus, Hardware Canucks, Hardware Unboxed, JayzTwoCents.

    Fro Knows Photo - used to have some good content years ago when I watched it, but started becoming more and more annoying, with clickbait thumbnails on almost every video.

    SMoD - a good source for getting to know new/unknown bands in the doom/stoner/sludge metal realms, but unsubbed after the scandal.

  • what are these rubber holes on the back of the pc case?
  • Besides the water cooling that's already mentioned, those could be used for example for routing an internal device out and into the I/O of the motherboard. An example would be some fan/RGB controllers that are meant to be somewhere inside the case, but are terminated with a standard USB A plug (and very few motherboards have that as an internal connector). Another example is a mini display that you could put inside the case that would need to interface with the GPU (so you'd need to route a DP or HDMI cable out of the case and into the back of the GPU).

  • How many people actually want fully on-site IT jobs?
  • The only argument I see in favour of office time is if your home situation doesn't allow you to focus - family, kids and so on, or if you deliberately want a physical separation and you don't have a dedicated office space at home.

  • Voyager 1 Once Again Returning Science Data From All Four Instruments
  • Honestly I'd be happy even with just user-replaceable battery so that I can swap it every year or two, and go maybe 4-5 years this way. That's the most I've needed since I've been using a mobile phone. Beyond that a phone is bound to feel morally obsolete, unless you also replace the mainboard/chipset, which I reckon isn't easily doable.

  • Google Chrome’s plan to limit ad blocking extensions kicks off next week
  • As a long time user of Opera (from before they went with Chromium), I've been using Vivaldi as my primary browser since they first released a public preview. It has its downsides (i.e. the UI is slightly slower than that of Chrome), but at the same time it's the thing that feels most "at home" for me after migrating away from the joke Opera has become. The developers seem to hold a strong anti-manifest-v3 stance, but unfortunately at one point they might have to comply. I just tried the built-in blocker instead of uBlock Origin I normally use and it seems to do a pretty good job.

    I get the whole "switch to Firefox" thing; for me the major blocker is that it doesn't have global mouse gestures and this messes up with my muscle memory. If they add that, I might give Firefox another chance.

  • [Feature Request] Customisable themes when using the "System" setting

    So... I think this is pretty self-explanatory - it would be nice if we could have the app follow the systemwide theme, but still customise how the light and dark themes look. An immediate example would be to be able to use a light theme during the day and the AMOLED theme during the night.

    [Feature Request] Subscribe to a community from a feed

    Hey. I've been using Connect for a couple of weeks now and I like it quite a lot. One thing I've been missing though is the ability to quickly subscribe to a community from an aggregated feed (like All); right now, to do so, I have to open the community and subscribe from there. Seeing that "Block Community" already exists in the context menu for a post, it's only logical to have "Subscribe" there as well. Maybe it's not needed that much in the long run, but it will definitely help me now as a Reddit refugee trying to rebuild my feed.
